In the year 1835 the constitution of the:State of Michigan was adopt- ed, and in 1837 the State was admit- ted into the Union. This constitu- tion provided for the establishment of a university and the Legislature of the new State subsequently made provisions for the establishment of the University. This, coupled with the existence of the Federal Land Grants, made the prospects for an, adequate university especially bright. Ann Arbor Chosen Thus, on June 5, 1937, the Regents met in Ann Arbor having received the best offer from the local residents for the establishment of the Univer- sity here, Ann Arbor promising 40 acres of land to the proposed school. ample funds through the Legislature from the Federal Land Grants. The Regents provided for four professor- ships: in mental philosophy, mathe- matics including engineering and ar- chitecture, languages and law. A librarian was appointed for a non- existent library, and a committee was] selected to set up branches through- out the State.

Rie- gel, director of the University Bureau of Industrial Relations, was released last week. The three Ann Arbor confeernces, which lasted two days each, were called by Professor Riegel especially for the discussion of wage determina- tion, and 60 of *the nation's leading firms sent special representatives to those meetings. The first conference dealt primar- ily with wage problems in the metal trades. The meeting was attended by representatives of the General Electric Co., the Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp., Westinghouse "Electric and Mfg. Corp., the Hudson Motor Car Co., and other large concerns in the trade. Second Conference The second conference, convening on the following week, met to dis- cuss wage problems in the chemical and allied industries. The B. F. Goodrich Co., the General Foods Corp., Proctor and Gamble Co., Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., and Pure Oil Co. were among those who sent representatives to this meeting. The final conference, coming on the third week, brought together ex- ecutives from leading public utility and merchandising firms. Delegates from the Commonwealth Edison Co., East Ohio Gas Co., Marshall Field and Co., and Michigan Bell Tele- phone Co. were among those in this group who discussed common wage problems in these industries. Wage Rates Considered On the basis of the information received through these three confer- ences and that found during the bu- reau's field studies, the book care- fully considers the problems of set- ting the wage rates for common and uncommon occupations and discusses the task of giving proper compensa- tions to the individual 'employe. Much was revealed during the con- ference concerning the minimum wage issue, and the proposals for government control of wage levels,: all three, vital problems of the day; and many pages are devoted to the conclusions 'reached by the various groups. The volume opens by pointing out World's Fastest Typist Types Strike Papers LANSING, April 6.-(P)-Miss Olga Elkouri, once a claimant of world's champion honors as a speed typist, typed the copies of the Chrysler strike settlement pact that were to be signed tonight to end the month old controversy. It was she, also, who typed the General Motors strike agreement in Detroit. the purposes.of wage administration in modern businesses and the meth- ods of determining standard wage rates for "key" jobs. It also points out the occupational characteristics usually considered in job valuation. The book stresses the importance of collecting accurate information about positions before any attempts are made to value them, while the two methods of evaluating services are brought out and carefully com- pared in the chapters on the grading and rating methods of valuation. Wage Determination The book closes with a discussion of the social. significance of wage determination, supporting the belief that proper wage and price relation- ships "will cause an economic system based on private enterprise to oper- ate at near capacity and to provide full employment." The volume was compiled in re- sponse to requests made from 30 companies to the bureau, Professor Riegel said. Its publication exempli- fies one of the services the bureau offers to American industries. o You Understand 'Shtshpumpn,' W ell Ask 'The Musician Your favorite dance band prob- ably contains such a phenomena as a "slushpump" and a "box of teeth." It may even have a "front man" and a "canary" in the company while do- ing a "dime-grind" or when "oni lo- cation at a scatter-joint." If the troupe is lucky it will have a "grease- pot," and those enhanced by the presence of a "gate man" are ex- tremely fortunate. And, of course, an "inkslinger" arranges the "spots." All of this strange lingo is Armer- icanized English, so the current issue of American Speech explains in an article entitled "A Musician's Word List," by Russell B. Nye of the Uni- versity of Wisconsin. We find that a "slushpump" is the familiar trom- bone, and the intriguing "box of teeth" turns out to be an accordion. A "front man" is the leader of a band, and the "canary" is the woman vocalist. A "dime-grind" is an en- gagement played at a dime-a-dance hall, while "on location" means an :engagement of longer duration in a more "tony" environment. A "scatter-joint" is a night club; a "gate-man" a popular figure in the band, and a "grease-pot' an ac- complished swing musician. The "inkslinger" arranges notes on the sheet-music which are the "spots," ,according to Nye. ai of May Festival Season AYILL BEGIN MONDAY, APRIL. I9tk.""."8:30 A.
